Kinda expensive for what you get. 3 ribs and I guess it's potato salad. Mac n cheese ok. It could just be me coming from the south. But haven't found good bbq in washington yet.

The lady helping was genuinely very sweet. The chef not so much. Brisket mostly fat fries are awesome. Corn bread dry and Cole slaw ok.

This is the kind of barbecue place that we need more of. From the time you walked in the door you know that what you're going to get is premium high quality meats. I got the meat platter that had a nice variety of chicken, ribs, and brisket. Every single bite was melt in your mouth delicious. I also want to point out the amazing baked beans. These were authentic baked beans, not the BBQ sauce smothered slop you get everywhere else. I hate when the beans are sweet sauce flavored. They should be smokey and savory, just like these beans.I'd give a ten outta ten for these two reasons alone, but on top of the amazing food was a wonderful staff, the young lady at the counter, and the mustachioed gentlemen cooking were friendly and made us feel welcomed. They reminded me of back in Louisiana where you go into a place and everyone welcomes you like old friends.I highly recommend trying them out. The only regret I have is not getting one of the giant cookies. It looked amazing and my wife wanted one, but we were stuffed by the time we left.

Great BBQ , only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that the menu is different for both locations and you can only door dash from one of them. Plus looking at the menus online and figuring if what you want is at which one, takes more than it should. If they could get that on the same page, it would be a 5

Currently on a quest to find the best brisket in Washington!... It's not here tho. Speedy customer service and friendly staff. The brisket was a little dry, had enough smokiness but needed a little extra flavor. Cornbread was drier than Grandma's homemade biscuits. BBQ Sauce is decent. Portion sizes are ok. Overall 5.5/10

Super, super good food, fun atmosphere and the drive-up make this a really great place. I truly have no idea why it isn't packed all the time and wish that I had discovered it sooner. Everything was home made/cooked and to die for

Up visiting from the Portland/Vancouver area and wanted some quick BBQ and oh, my. Meats are melt in your mouth tender, sauce has just the right tang..the cornbread muffins are scrumptious and the Mac n Cheese is heavenly. There was only one woman working this evening and despite answering phones, taking orders and dealing with seated guest, she remained calm and exceedingly polite. Overall...this was a 5/5 for take away, down home yummy Q. ?

Don't go through the drive through takes a very long time and the food cost to much for the lack of quality received $25. For 2pc dry chicken 2pc ribs 2pc dry brisket and bland potato salad the texas toast was over seasoned the beans were ok but honestly the only thing I liked were the ribs and the fries so for the price you'd be better off going elswhere.The servicer did a great job considering how overwhelmed she was working both the counter and drive through window on her own.Overall I will not be returning.

I’m from the south so I know good BBQ. This place was GREAT! Food was good, staff was really friendly. Just a cool place to have a meal!! Rest thought the seat cushions were cool to!

Really disappointed, I enjoy some good rib's sometimes but not this time. My dinner amounted to 3 overcooked ribs a biscuit a few tablespoons of potato salad and baked beans and a bottle of water that cost me $27 plus tip. And if I remember right I visited the warthog in Fife before the virus started and I had problems at that one too. So obviously I'm going to have to find a new place to get some good ribs.

The food was delicious. I had the brisket dip and the aujus was cold but the meat was very good and the BBQ sauce that was on the side was excellent. I also had the pulled pork and loved it!

Overall a total waste of money. The food was mediocre for a a BBQ joint. Comparable to Chili's or Famous Dave's (honestly those would have been better choices for the prince). I ordered the special of the day which was a pulled pork & cheddar sandwich & home fries, clearly pointing to the board. The staff first said they didn't have cheddar cheese, so I subbed for something else. Then they didn't have the correct bread, so again, I subbed for a difference choice. The special on the board stated my sandwich came with home fries, but not were served. When I asked the waitress she said "well we were out of the special so I just gave you the sandwich". It was my understanding that I was just getting substitutions, she never once mentioned they were "sold out" of the special or I wasn't getting it. Another staff member chimed in and said "just give her the fries" which I guess was nice? Idk they still seemed annoyed to give me what I ordered. I'm glad I got the fries though because they were the tastiest part of the meal. The mac & cheese at KFC or Chick-fil-A is better than here. If you're looking to try something new I would steer clear...

dawg im from texas where bbq is big and i tried to find a reason to hate on it but i just couldn't. the meat was juicy and tender *pause* and the sandwich was well worth 8.95 meat falling off the bun gives u extra to smack on + the fries was a1 aint had a bad experience yet.

Cynthia Ramsey

The brisket sandwich was just OK. I liked the sauce, but thought the meat could have been more tender. The fries were oddly sweet. The waitress was really nice. The kitchen staff was having a conversation that could be heard in the dining room. F-word and several other swear words included. I would have enjoyed my lunch more if I didn't have to hear them.

Good food my pulled pork sandwich was delicious, the fries were a little over cooked to my taste or seems like the oil was too dirty because of the taste and color, but overall good place to take your wife/girlfriend for a good dinner. I would definitely be back, I would recommend this place!
